Re: Site2Site VPN - Web page requests returns FWX_E_TERMINATING



Hi,
as Phillip says, try to use always URLs instead of IP addresses..However I
guess you are using URLs.. just one question.. which kind of client do you
have?Firewall client or Web proxy clients?If you are using FWC is normal
that in the logs you see the IP address..moreover as told you Phillip, avoid
to use proxy locally and create an exception for your web site.

You have to separate in you mind the concept of the VPN -vs- the Internet
Traffic even though they both use the ISA and even though the VPN works
over the Internet.

Everything that works over the VPN is private *local* traffic. Geography
is irrelevant.

Therefore you have to make sure that everything that happens with that Web
Application has to be properly treated as local private traffic on the
LAN. Your problem "element" needs to be examined in detail to make sure
that everything involving it and the Client using it must be treated a
local traffic. It appearantly is not,...if you look at the Log entries
you posted you will see that the Web Proxy is involved,...but it should
not be involved.

I see one problem right off the top. It is using http://10.10.3.9 .
Well, never ever ever ever use IP# in links in websites. IP# have "dots"
in them,...this causes them to be interpreted [incorrectly] by Internet
Explorer as FQDNs,...and all FQDNs are treated by Internet Explorer as
Internet Locations and it will *blindly* send them to the proxy if IE
posseses proxy settings,...but if IE does not have proxy settings this
does not occur. Using IP#s in URLs does *not* simplify things as most
people think,...it makes things *more* undependable and unpredictable.
You can verify this be removing all proxy settings from IE and then try
the Web Application again.

There are measures to deal with it, and there is at least one article
explaining how to deal with it,..but the best thing is to not create the
situation in the first place. Use *names* in the URLs that consistantly
and dependably resolve to the correct address. You also need to make sure
that all Domain Names used on the LAN are correctly configured into the
correct Network Definitions. The same has to be true for what might be
used in any Absolute Links (as opposed to Relative Links) that are
embedded into the Site.

There may be other things to consider but this is the best I know to do
for the moment.

We are experiencing some strange behaviour with a web based application
for
our users in the Branch office site.
The branch site is connected using a ISA to ISA site to site VPN and
there
is a firewall rule applied which allows ALL traffic to pass in both
directions. The network policy is set to route the traffic.

From a VPN site the behaviour we are seeing is:
We open the web application: http://server/app.
We receive the application login form and continue to login.
The application opens and we can browse most ellements.
When we try to use a specific element the client receives the following
message:

Error Code 64: Host not available
Background: The gateway or proxy server lost connection to the Web server
When I review ISA monitoring logs at the branchsite I see the same error.
When I review the ISA logs at the HQ site I see:

Log type: Web Proxy (Forward)
Status: 0xc0040001 FWX_E_TERMINATING
Rule: VPN to Den Haag

The web application works well for all users within the HQ site, however
when it passes the ISA FW it stops working.
